I did some research and wanted to announce some of the featured fights for XCFL 3, which is May 15 from the Marlboro Convention Center.

A 170 pound title fight is set to take place between Sit Yod Tong’s Chris Cape and Dragon Lair Fighter James Boran.  Chris is well rounded, and has shown a real mean streak in his fights. Boran has flown under the radar a little, but is 4-0 and one of my favorite up and coming fighters. He has great hands, and is slick on the ground. I think the stand up will be close, and the fight will be decided on the ground. Cape is the better wrestler but Boran may be able to submit him.

Scott Nichols makes his return to the cage against Robby Roberts. Nichols has started his pro career undefeated, and looks to keep rolling against Robby. He is coming off the longest layoff of his career and it’ll be interesting to see how well he comes back from injury.  Robby has won 2 in a row in the first round, and will have  big size advantage.

Luis Rodrigues takes  on Eric Fama, and both guys are talked about as the best prospects in the area.

Another title fight is rumored and I’ll post more about that when I preview the show next week.
